It might be in certain parts of Europe, and possibly if the Foundation 
made the agreement with that German organization (that I forgot the name 
of).
I know for sure donations are not tax free/deductible in Sweden (since 
January 1st 2014).

Maybe something like:
"The GNOME Foundation is a non-profit organization and depending on 
where you live, your donation might be tax deductible. Contact your tax 
office for more information."

I used deductible since it might only be for a certain percentage, or 
have a max amount, depending on the country.
I realize working on the texts over e-mail might be a bit cumbersome, so 
I dumped some simplifications here
